The Reign On is the newest ball in Storm’s Thunder line for the fall season. This ball uses the popular CAM core and a sanded version of Storm’s R2S Hybrid Reactive coverstock. This ball comes out of the box with 4000 Abralon, much higher than the 1000 Abralon out of box finish of the Reign of Power. The result is a ball that has much more angle at the back end.

The 4000 Abralon finish was still rough enough to give us plenty of hook on our heavy test pattern without burning up its energy like the Reign of Power. The ball allowed all three testers to go a little straighter through the front and have added motion at the back

Bowling This Month Subscriber Testimonials

"I have been bowling since I was 5 years old. I'm now 31 and bowl in a competitive league and sport a 220 average. I've been a loyal and dedicated reader of BTM for many years. It's my go-to source for information about skills, strategies, and, most importantly, ball reviews. I fancy myself pretty well-versed in the world of bowling, but each month there's always something new that I learn. The authors are also very articulate and very accessible. Tremendous compliment to Phil Regan. I left a comment on his article and he emailed me! I was able to ask him some questions and he was very appreciative and helpful. I can say more about BTM if given the chance. I would surely run out of space in this box. I love BTM and always will."
